Synopsis

By 2008, more than 25 percent of major league baseball players were born in Latin America.

At 19, Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a serious kid from the Dominican Republic, signs with Kansas City.

He flies to Phoenix for tryouts and is sent to the Class A team "The Swing" in the fictional town of Bridgetown, Iowa, where he lives with a farm family.

Thus begins his odyssey: leaving his mom and girlfriend; living in an alien culture; learning English; overcoming jitters; working hard; achieving early success; navigating friendships, occasional racism, and a woman's mixed signals; dealing with an injury; trying performance-enhancing drugs; and, searching for his place in the world.

Will he make it to the Majors; will he play in New York?

The use of music in Sugar felt disjointed and out of place at times, detracting from the overall viewing experience rather than enhancing it. The soundtrack did not effectively connect the audience to the protagonist's internal struggles, cultural clashes, and personal triumphs, leaving me feeling disconnected from the story and characters.
